Chapter 238: Giving back to the other in his way
Under the attention of everyone, Li Guanyu quickly ran back to the half court, and as soon as he stood in the defensive position, Evans slapped the basketball and rushed over with resentment. Looking at the posture, it doesn't look like playing basketball, but like seeking revenge.
Li Guanyu calmly took Evans's angry glare and didn't take it seriously at all - the rookie in front of him was not enough to pose any threat to him. Although he is the most powerful contender for this year's Rookie of the Year, he is undoubtedly a little bit more than Li Guanyu, a strong contender for this year's regular season MVP. Moreover, last year's rookie of the year was Li Guanyu, and the competition in the class of 2008 was much fiercer than in the class of 2009 - 2009 was undoubtedly a draft year.
When Evans took the basketball to the place in front of him, Li Guanyu immediately took a half step back. But his shoulders moved forward by half a point—the lower half of his body stepped back, and the upper half of his body leaned forward.
This funny look is Li Guanyu's defensive move.
Is it a tribute to Mr. Chaplin? Evans bent down and slowly crossvered in front of his body, his thick lips squirting thin trash talk.
'Huh! Li Guanyu smiled lightly, neither refuting nor admitting it. Once again, the center of gravity shifted back by half a minute.
At the same time, from the outside world, Li Guanyu's antics are not ridiculous, after all, his whole temperament is there. Evans, on the other hand, was much more ridiculous - because of his very large build, and the bent dribble he bent down before breaking through - so that his back looked like that of a big black bear.
'Stop showing off your ridiculous dribbling skills, okay?' Playing any dribbling technique in front of me is a self-defeating act, you should understand it. My rookie sir! Li Guanyu said impatiently - he was indeed tired of Evans's cookie-cutter disguise in front of the body.
Drink!
I don't know if it's because Li Guanyu's words are stimulating, or because he himself finds it boring to repeat it like this. Evans' shoulders shook violently, and at the same time, his legs kept taking small steps, trying to confuse Li Guanyu's judgment.
This is Evans' signature breakthrough method - shoulders shake, small broken legs, followed by a quick slap of the basketball with both hands to change the direction of the break, and the last turn to pass the opponent for a layup.
Some people call this the European step layup, or the European breakout method.
For the Yankees, the Europeans are undoubtedly the technological stream. And for the Europeans, the Yankees are undoubtedly physical. Now an American muscle-stick has the usual rhythm of a European breakthrough, which is naturally very difficult to prevent, or BUG!
However, the American party and the European party do not seem to have had much effect on Li Guanyu, a Chinese.
I saw Li Guanyu take a half step back to the left slightly, then raised his right hand high, and his left hand pressed heavily against Evans's thick and majestic waist. Although the rebound force made Li Guanyu very uncomfortable, Evans immediately lost the opportunity to break through - he didn't know where to turn around, and Li Guanyu wouldn't eat his feints.
After two steps forward close to each other, Evans finally gave up the idea of breaking through and stopped jumping directly - Li Guanyu couldn't stop this, after all, the physical gap was impossible to make up for in technology.
But then again, Li Guanyu doesn't need to defend, and everyone on earth knows that Evans' shooting is not as reliable as he imagined.
Boom!
Without any suspense, Evans' basketball shot was ironed.
Since the first-year team uses a pure run-and-shoot lineup, throwing a shot means that the opponent grabs the basketball and counterattacks.
But after Li Guanyu took over the basketball from Kevin Lefou, he didn't immediately launch a fast attack, but hooked his hand at Evans and whispered a declaration of war: "Next, I will use the way you are best at cutting into the basket and putting the basketball into the basket." ”
Li Guanyu is arrogant, in fact, he has never been low-key.
But, his arrogance has not been extinguished by anyone until now? The opponent could only express his gnashing of teeth and helplessness about his arrogance. Whether it's LeBron James or Kobe Bryant, Li Guanyu always has a way to make his arrogance burn more and more!
"Hmph, you think you're a god?" Evans spewed trash talk as he clung to it.
For Evans's aggression and completely unleashing the oppressive defense of the rookie game, Li Guanyu still lifted weights, adjusted the rhythm of the dribble to dissolve most of the pressure, and said lightly in Chinese: "I just like to give back to the other in the other way." ”
Evans didn't understand, he thought it was a slang phrase, and his defensive moves were even more intense - now he was even crazier than he was during March Madness.
But, madness isn't everything. Sometimes, madness can hurt you. This time, although his madness did not harm himself, it did not have the effect of substantially - Li Guanyu still passed the half very easily - the current Li Guanyu's physical condition is the best in this month, in terms of physical confrontation, although it is still inferior to Evans, a freak, but he has not suffered a lot.
When Li Guanyu took a step outside the three-point line with the ball, Evans actually stopped pressing the defense. Maybe he didn't think it was necessary - he couldn't defend anyway, so it was better to save some energy and concentrate on defending his breakthrough.
Evans knew that Li Guanyu would break through, so he took two or three steps back. He wasn't worried about Li Guanyu shooting from beyond the three-point line, because Li Guanyu said he would cut to the basket - Li Guanyu said he would definitely do it.
Li Guanyu never flinched, and Evans still knew this.
Sure enough, Li Guanyu did not disappoint Evans, let alone let him wait for a long time, but just slowed down the rhythm outside the three-point line and quickly rushed to Evans's eyes, and then the whole person suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and the basketball continued to crosser back and forth in front of his body at a strange angle - the dribbling pressure was very low and low, almost touching the ground - whether it was the height of the center of gravity, or the speed of the beating or the rhythm of the beating, it was better than Evans.
When Evans was studying offense, he never thought that he would defend himself one day, let alone defend himself.
So, unsurprisingly, he fainted.
Li Guanyu didn't care if Evans would faint, taking advantage of the gap that Evans couldn't touch Bei Huangshen, his shoulders suddenly shook, and the weirdness of the shaking was unpredictable, and Evans was naturally even more confused. At this time, Li Guanyu suddenly accelerated and rushed to Evans's eyes, Li Guanyu suddenly came into view, which immediately surprised Evans, and subconsciously took a half step back.
Suddenly, a gap appeared in the defense, which was originally as tight as a door panel. And Li Guanyu seized the opportunity of the gap in Evans' defense, turned around suddenly, and instantly left Evans' defense behind, and then quickly rushed to the penalty area.
After being passed by Li Guanyu, Evans immediately turned to chase after him. His reaction speed was very fast, but he still couldn't keep up with the defense, and could only watch Li Guanyu walk away, cut into the unguarded restricted area, and put the basketball into the basket with an easy three-step layup...... Swish!
There was no suspense about the basketball going in, and there was not much cheering in the court - in the eyes of the fans, there was nothing special about the layup - they didn't know what was going on.
"Basketball, that's how it works." After Li Guanyu landed, he immediately looked back and commented on Evans.
Evans was full of anger at Li Guanyu's senior-like 'guidance and promotion', but he didn't know how to vent - did he beat him up?
Come on, even if you can guess with your toes, ten Evans is not an opponent of Li Guanyu.
Get it back on the basketball court?
Evans' confidence isn't that good right now, and Li doesn't want to give him another chance. I saw him walk directly up to Brandon Jennings and say, "Man, it's your turn next." Take out the offense you do best, right? I will show you how to strengthen it with practical actions. ”
"Hmph, your hubris has me off, and I'm going to let the world know that I'm the best point guard." Brandon Jennings glanced at Li Guanyu arrogantly and said very recklessly.
"You?" Li Guanyu asked a rhetorical question, and then laughed heartily, as if he had listened to the best joke in the world—a sentence that to Li Guanyu was like tofu claiming to be the most durable and deformable food.
"Questions?" Brandon Jennings asked viciously, he hated and hated Li Guanyu's feeling that his words were a joke.
"Soon, you'll find out for yourself." Li Guanyu didn't answer, shrugged his shoulders, and quickly ran back to the half-court - with his pride, he had enough reason to refuse to answer such a stupid question.
"Cut!" Brandon Jennings unceremoniously stretched out his middle finger, stabbing his head like him, but not [***] anyone.
The referees were very sad about Brandon Jennings' middle finger - they didn't know if they should give him a T.
After thinking about it, I finally decided to turn a blind eye - after all, Li Guanyu didn't care, and the All-Star Game should be a happy and harmonious atmosphere.
At the same time, the TNT trio, who are in charge of the national live broadcast, discussed it.
"What's going on? Brandon Jennings actually gave Lee a middle finger? Could it be that Lee was talking trash to him? Also, Why is Evans so bruised? Also, why did Lee score in the way Evans does best? Kenny Smith said puzzled.
"Before the game, I heard that the three point guards of the class of '09 would challenge Lee, and I thought that might be the reason for the anomaly on the court!" Reggie Miller replied - this should be the most reasonable answer.
"Well, I don't care if Lee will accept the challenge at all, I just care which female star Lee will give the trophy to the sidelines in the end. That's the most important thing. Charles Barkley still looks like a child, and his focus has never been on the field.
